"The beings of spacetime are so trivial, wishing to define everything and themselves through their forms of expressions. May that be the Astnad Havear and their horrors, the Terahaen and their despair, the Humans and their beliefs theMuarat or the Caifyp. You come from Earth in the universe calling itself 'Reality' belonging to the world called 'Myth', do you not? For some reason my presence had decided to descend on that planet and now shall soon materialise into their demon form."
The six remained silent despite the thoughts in their minds.
"Your curiosity is easy to detect. Please speak."
If it weren't for the strong wave of urge passed by the entity, the silence may have remained for an eternity.
"Where are we?" Zindel's sound was mellow and yet powerful in the pursuit of knowledge, though what the entity really translated his thoughts were to a comforting realisation.
"In time."
Zindel found it interesting how the entity did not mention understanding, knowing, or perceiving, though he found that he really didn't care about such notions either, after a level of thoughts.
"Seeing your area of residence I shall speak to you about humans. You are aware that Shadow Beings exist wherever life and sentient beings are, right?"
The six sent a thought of agreement. The entity knew of all their questions even though its domain was feeling, not information.
"The Shadow Dimension exists forever and never. This is a concept you will come to understand soon enough. The first Shadow Beings were formed 4.6 billion years ago, connecting all the universes and worlds through the Seven Lands of Quintessence. What the lands are shall be left upon you to think on. Perceive it as you wish and know the truth one day."
The six knew that a statement of this sort was bound to come. But they weren't thirsty for knowledge. As the entity had said earlier, in time.
"What really is happening right now?" Confusion was evident in Zoey's thoughts.
"Nature."
The entity expected silence from the six though sensed that one of them understood what he meant by the word. An amusing aura reverberated around the Shadows for a considerable moment, vanishing as discretely as it had appeared.
"If evolution is the accumulation of traits, this is nothing but the result of increasing entropy. The emotional energy of the universe is in great disarray and with the increase of sentient beings this has only increased. Often, one species affects the birth of another, and I do not refer to speciation here."
"The Angelic and Demonic Creatures," Zindel thought, his aura moving ever so slightly and the yellow line remained calm. However, the blue fragment grew weak, sorrow in the Shadow's heart.
"Why did you kill them all?"
"One still survives." The entity's voice was dangerously callous but one Shadow sensed his true emotion.
"Thank you. What a great deed that you have performed."
"Would you rather wish for your universe to be destroyed and put everything else out of equilibrium?"
"How does one species affect the equilibrium of the universe? Do you plan on doing the same with Azrael?"
Kasia's thoughts were heavy in pain and her sense felt tired yet she remained firm, needing the answers to her question.
"The entity is correct, Kasia. The reason a single species affects the equilibrium so much, despite their less numbers is because they are born from the hopes and horrors of humans and thus comes from the Shadow Dimension.
